After the children made a mad dash for the Blackpool-donated jerseys and shorts, Sports Day on the new land turned into a combined football/tennis/badminton match. I’m not sure who won, but the game ended with lollipops so perhaps it didn’t matter.

Once the adults were worn out, the children were keen to get the measure of the new (unfinished) school.

Sports Day also turned out to be the best advert for the new school as mothers and children from surrounding houses came out to gawp, join in and generally be madly jealous of the sports equipment.
